This paper concerns a local characterization of 5-dimensional pseudo-Hermitian manifolds with maximal automorphism group in the case the underlying almost CR structures are not integrable. We also present examples of globally homogeneous model of maximal dimensional automorphism group.
We apply a recent theorem of Li and the first author to give some criteria for the K-stability of Fano varieties in terms of anticanonical $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors. First, we propose a condition in terms of certain anti-canonical $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors of given Fano variety, which we conjecture to be equivalent to the K-stability. We prove that it is at least a sufficient condition and also related to the Berman-Gibbs stability. We also give another algebraic proof of the K-stability of Fano varieties which satisfy Tian’s alpha invariants condition.
A result of Korányi that describes the structure of the space of polynomial solutions to the Heisenberg Laplacian operator is generalized to the canonical central systems on the block Heisenberg groups. These systems of differential operators generalize the Heisenberg Laplacian and, like it, admit large algebras of conformal symmetries. The main result implies that in most cases all polynomial solutions can be obtained from a single one by the repeated application of conformal symmetry operators.
For a given compact connected Lie group and an involution on it, we can define a hyperpolar action. We study the orbit space and the properties of each orbit of the action. The result is a natural extension of maximal torus theory.
We give a complete characterization of the classes of weight functions for which the higher rank Haar wavelet systems are unconditional bases in weighted norm Lebesgue spaces. Particulary it follows that higher rank Haar wavelets are unconditional bases in the weighted norm spaces with weights which have strong zeros at some points. This shows that the class of weight functions for which higher rank Haar wavelets are unconditional bases is much richer than it was supposed.
The concept of “quasiconformal motion” was first introduced by Sullivan and Thurston (in [24]). Theorem 3 of that paper asserted that any quasiconformal motion of a set in the sphere over an interval can be extended to the sphere. In this paper, we give a counter-example to that assertion. We introduce a new concept called “tame quasiconformal motion” and show that their assertion is true for tame quasiconformal motions. We prove a much more general result that, any tame quasiconformal motion of a closed set in the sphere, over a simply connected Hausdorff space, can be extended as a quasiconformal motion of the sphere. Furthermore, we show that this extension can be done in a conformally natural way. The fundamental idea is to show that the Teichmüller space of a closed set in the sphere is a “universal parameter space” for tame quasiconformal motions of that set over a simply connected Hausdorff space.
Let $X$ be a locally compact separable metric space and $m$ a positive Radon measure on $X$ with full topological support. Let ${\mathbf{M}}=(P_x,X_t)$ be an $m$-symmetric Markov process on $X$. Let $(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{E}))$ be the Dirichlet form on $L^2(X;m)$ generated by $\mathbf{M}$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Radon measure in the Green-tight Kato class and $A^\mu_t$ the positive continuous additive functional in the Revuz correspondence to $\mu$. Under certain conditions, we establish the large deviation principle for positive continuous additive functionals $A^{\mu}_t$ of symmetric Markov processes.
